About
I am a quantitative methodologist interested in how we can reliably measure social and behavioral phenomena. Being convinced that meaningful empirical research should be as rigorous and trustworthy as the public expects it to be, my aim is to play a part in fostering an open, reproducible, and methodologically robust research culture in the social sciences. I want to help strengthening the credibility of empirical findings by drawing from my knowledge of statistics and survey methodology to provide high-quality data and robust workflows for researchers.
My own research focuses on survey statistics and data quality, with a current focus on improving longitudinal labor market panel data. I currently pursue a PhD in Social Data Science & Research Methodology at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and the University of Mannheim. I hold a Research Master’s in Methodology and Statistics, with a specialization in official statistics, including the European Master of Official Statistics, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Witten/Herdecke.
